White Stick Awards

Referees' criteria for producing yellow cards in the case of players showing slogans on their shirts doesn't seem that clear right now. Suazo's booking on Saturday for showing off his "Fuerza Chile" T-shirt was overturned on appeal by the disciplinary committee, the club citing similar cases where players demonstrated support for national disasters, including that of Cristiano Ronaldo, who was let off a similar offence after the storms in his native Madeira. Others though have not been so lucky, for example Villarreal's Capdevila, who wore a T-shirt with the face of his recently deceased ex-Espanyol team-mate Dani Jarque. Capdevila's team-mate Llorente was pardoned though this week after the appeals committee agreed that Estrada Fernández was wrong to book him for a non-existent hand-ball at Valladolid. That was little consolation for the striker who scored in the play, although it did not affect the result in the end. (06.04.10)
